Boise, ID – Residents across the Boise area can expect milder daytime temperatures early this week, followed by increasing chances for rain and slick travel conditions late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.
According to the National Weather Service in Boise, afternoon highs will climb into the mid- to upper 40s through the middle of the week, while overnight temperatures dip near or below freezing. Forecasters say a new wet weather system is expected to move into the region late Tuesday night, bringing rain to lower elevations and snow to higher terrain.
Precipitation is most likely between approximately 10PM Tuesday and 8AM Wednesday, a time window that could impact early morning commuters across Boise, Meridian, Nampa, and surrounding parts of Ada and Canyon counties. While significant snowfall is not expected in valley locations, periods of rain combined with cold overnight temperatures may create slick or icy spots on roads.
Mountain passes and higher elevations may see light snow accumulation, which could slow travel for drivers heading into central Idaho or traveling through elevated routes early Wednesday.
Rain chances may linger into Wednesday afternoon and Thursday, while temperatures remain seasonably mild for February. No major winter storm warnings are currently in effect, but officials advise drivers to remain cautious during overnight and early morning travel periods.
Residents are encouraged to monitor updated forecasts and road conditions, especially if commuting before sunrise Wednesday or traveling through higher elevations.
Areas impacted include Boise, Ada County, Canyon County, and nearby communities across southwest Idaho.
